damn you tube got the sunday ticket
-
The guy's house I go over to watch Browns games signed up for YouTube Sunday Ticket. I do have to say it's pretty neat. On his 75" big screen you can put four games on simultaneously. Browns game in one corner, then three others. When the commercial break is over, you just go Browns full screen. FWIW, we did get a couple frozen screens where we had to go away from YouTube, and then come back to the game.
FWIW, I'm not shelling out the $300 bucks this year for Sunday Ticket. Every year (being in Bungle Land) I check for game conflicts- or non conflicts. this season, there's only two games where the Bungles will get preference. MNF, SNF, and TNF- no conflicts there. Bye weeks ditto.
Nuts to spend that kind of money to get a couple of games, especially when I can just head over to my friends place to catch those games. .
Yeah, I ended up paying for the YouTube Sunday Ticket in July. Had a glitch getting logged in on Sunday (long story) so I finally gave up and went to a bar very nearby in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Anyway, watching the Browns start off with a win put me in a good enough mood to get back on the phone right after the game. This time I spoke to someone that knew exactly how to resolve the issue and I watched some of the later games on it.
FWIW, when I've watched games with Browns Backers at a local bar in the past - those meals, beverages and tips 4 times a month for 4 months can really add up. You can very easily spend $100 per month when you get right down to it.

Probably more like $200+ going out. A cheeseburger,fries, and 3-4 beers is going to cost more than $20. I admit that I am a good tipper, some may not feel this way, but after sitting there 3-4 hours I can't leave the server a $5 tip. I generally leave at least $15. They are having to come over and check on you for 3-4 hours.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Be glad. At least you guys have a way to watch. International viewers were forcefully transferred from Game Pass on the NFL site which worked great, to DAZN, which is a complete SHITSHOW.
There is literally not a single game or content whatsoever made available to me, after taking payment. Customer service has escalated internally (whatever the heck that means), because they have no idea why.
So last Sunday I got """enjoy""" our first win while reading the play by play on the NFL site, with no indication of a resolution by next Monday...

Thanks! That $200+ per month is probably more like it. I tip like you do because most of their salary comes from tips. I also do it for the reasons you brought up. In order to keep the bar interested in hosting the Browns Backers - they need to make money so I'm usually well fed.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

It's cheaper than a single $200 game day ticket. Honestly, it's not going to be much longer (on my retirement income) before I turn my Season tickets over to my 3 nephews.
I'm fortunate I don't have to hit Sports Bars when I'm not going to the Stadium. Which is getting less and less desirable as the years go by. My co season ticket holder about never goes to games anymore- and he only lives 15 miles from First Energy, not 220 as I do. BTW, The cost of admission to my pal's house is a bottle of wine and a pizza.

It happens. It isn't cheap holding my club seats. Especially when you start tagging on 3 nights in hotels as I do . This last game it was 4 nights. We didn't feel like driving all the way back(625 miles) on Monday.
Time takes it's toll.

Dang Larry, I started to think about this. You must be spending that $200 a month unless you are going over there with a cheap ass wine and a Red Barron Pizza.
Just busting your chops...lol

You can't beat that last part. Yeah, the cost of the Sunday Ticket sounds worse than it really is when you start doing cost and convenience comparisons. Staying home, I don't have to spend $ on bar & grill food, beverages and tips. I also don't have to waste any gas getting there. Not only that, I don't have to get there 45-60 minutes early to get a good seat. That's a 4 hour commitment plus the travel to and from. Not only that, if I want to drink beer - I don't have to worry about Florida Five-O or some Next Generation Barney Fife pulling me over.
As the conversation got going with Ballpeen's and JRB's input - all that can easily be about $200 a month during a 4 month season. That's way more than the Sunday Ticket & Red Zone costs me this year. Last year's alternative was to try to stream it weekly which often led to missing big plays and needing to refresh the feed. It really sucked to be honest.
The big reality during inflation today - you have to carefully choose what you're willing to overpay for outside of the essentials. Many of us are refusing to bury our longtime family traditions of watching the Browns on Sunday, which makes that an essential too.

Yeah, no cheap wines allowed.... We also have a Friday happy hour on a rotating basis either at a restaurant that will let us bring in wine, or at someone's house. Bob was the host yesterday. I know for health reasons you gave up that fermented grape juice... But the featured wines brought by attendees were a 1989 Chateau Leoville Barton, and a 2004 Pavilion Rouge from Chateau Margaux. Darn, even those second labels of top chateaux have escalated out of my retirement budget.

God, I miss the days of my Dad yelling up at the roof at my Mom, to turn to the left, adjust her aluminum foil hat and hold the rabbit ears up high so we could get a clear picture on tv.
We just went across the street to the Salters' house with the rest of the neighborhood kids once a week to watch I Love Lucy on the only TV on the block. It got the only channel at the time with rabbit ears.?

I like those.
They only pop on the local ad slots. The national buys still show up. With 2 teams, which local ads should they show, and those ads don't pay enough to get national exposure. I don't want to see some local Baltimore ad selling gutter guards.
Going with the Zen is better than showing an old Indian head or lighthouse test pattern. Some of you older folks know what I am talking about.
For you younger folks, TV stations signed off at 1AM or so. If you turned on the TV, all you saw was a test pattern or just static fuzz. They would usually sign back in at 6AM...some sort of farm report was usually on the air. Corn is up. Pork Bellies down

I used to watch the 488 RFDTV on our cable TV when my wife was on 7-3 weekends knew all of them about 10 years ago. Fun TV back then. All the farm and polka music stuff.
